Evaluation of the effects of intra-arterial sugammadex and dexmedetomidine: an experimental study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (5), 2016
Abstract Background: Intra-arterial injection of medications may cause acute and severe ischemia and result in morbidity and mortality. There is no information in the literature evaluating the arterial endothelial effects of sugammadex and dexmedetomidine. The hypothesis of our study is that sugammadex ...

Rocuronium and sugammadex in a 3 days old neonate for draining an ovarian cyst. Neuromuscular management and review of the literature

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (4), 2016
Abstract A case is reported in which a 3-days old neonate with a giant ovarian cyst was scheduled for surgery. The patient received a dose of sugammadex to reverse a rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block. A fast and efficient recovery from neuromuscular block was achieved within 90 s. No adverse events ...

The effect of sugammadex on postoperative cognitive function and recovery

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (4), 2016
Abstract Background and objective: Sugammadex is the first selective relaxant binding agent. When compared with neostigmine, following sugammadex administration patients wake earlier and have shorter recovery times. In this study, we hypothesized that fast and clear awakening in patients undergoing gene...

Sugammadex versus neostigmine in pediatric patients: a prospective randomized study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 64 (6), 2014
Background and objectives: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors may cause postoperative residual curarization when they are used for reversal of neuromuscular blockade. Sugammadex reverses neuromuscular blockade by chemical encapsulation and is not associated with the side effects that may occur with the use ...
